In this study, we explored both DTI and CSD based tractography algorithms to invesitgate the female pelvic floor muscle anatomy in vivo. We have shown that both DTI and CSD can adequately describe the global architecture of the female pelvic floor. However, in regions with complex structures they show different results.
